Sales Information System
Purpose
The Sales Information System is a flexible tool which allows you to collect, consolidate, and utilize data from Sales and Distribution processing. It can be used at different levels in the decision-making process as a control and planning instrument, enabling you to recognize market developments and economic trends early on and to take appropriate measures.
Integration
The Sales Information System is a component of the Logistic Information System (LIS), which contains a range of other information systems including those for Purchasing and the Shop Floor.
All of the LIS information systems have standard structures and user guidelines and use a large number of data analysis functions that they access from the central system. Therefore, the information systems that belong to the LIS are described in the documentation for
LO - Logistics Information System, while any special functions are described in separate sections of the documentation.
Features
From the mass of data which exists in the SD System, you can use the aggregation function to filter out the most important information to you, tailored to your needs. It is up to you to determine the depth of information you receive.
Not only can you collect and consolidate actual data from Sales and Distribution processing but you can also create your own planning data. Comparing actual data and planning data can assist you considerably in your decision making.
You can find more information about the functions in the Sales Information System in the documentation for the Logistics Information System under
